Brazil Apart: 1964-2019

Leading English-language account of the fall of Lulaâ€™s Workersâ€™ Party and rise of Bolsonaro and the New Right

What does Brazilâ€™s lurch to the hard right under Jair Bolsonaro portend for Latin Americaâ€™s largest country, and how has it come about? Always something of a world unto itself, Brazil became, under the Workersâ€™ Party from 2003 to 2016, â€œthe theatre of a socio-political drama without equivalent in any other major state.â€ Bucking the global trend towards a tighter neoliberalism, former steelworker Luiz InÃ¡cio Lula da Silva swept aside the broken promises of previous years to invest in social transfers, defying vituperations in the Brazilian media to become the most popular ruler of the age. But in a second spectacular reversal, a parliamentary coup dâ€™Ã©tat against Lulaâ€™s successorâ€”backed by forces in the judiciary and a youthful New Rightâ€”has been consolidated by Bolsonaroâ€™s 2018 capture of the Planalto. With the PTâ€™s lodestar now behind bars, a weighing up of his legacy, and of the contrasting Bolsonaro regime, is urgently needed. Brazil Apart is the sharp-edged, comprehensive analytic account required.
